If the top QB in the draft looked like that, odds are that a mid round QB taken by us is going to have even more growing pains. We have the best young receiving core in the league and a generational player in JJ. Would be tragic if we wasted their potential by committing to a young guy.
At the very least, I hope we can resign cousins and allow a prospect to develop instead of waging our future on someone unproven.
For me it’s the timing. We shouldn’t move on from Kirk until age takes its toll. It could be 39 years old when that happens or it could be 40+. A 3 year extension in 2024 would end when he’s 38. After that I think you would do 1 year deals. The best news here is athleticism isn’t a big part of his game. Because he’s not a running QB he can play longer.
At some point we draft a 1st round QB. I don’t think that time is next year as long as Kirk keeps playing like he has.
